To validate the findings of WTS in GLP tissues, we analyzed the expression of IGF2BP3 and MUC16 in the human gastric epithelial cell line GES1 and the human gastric cancer cell lines AGS (intestinal-type), NUGC4 (diffuse-type), and KATO III (signet ring cell carcinoma, SRCC). Here, IGF2BP3 is linked to gastric cancer.
